UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Staffordshire College is planning to procure an e-learning solution for use by the college in the United Kingdom. The service scope covers e-learning services and associated training, including staff training and safety training. The requirement is intended to support the college’s future learning and development needs, with implementation planned as part of a forthcoming procurement. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction requirement. Suppliers providing digital learning platforms, online course content, learning management capabilities, training delivery or related implementation support should find the subject relevant. The college is the buying organisation and will manage the requirement. The planned procurement is identified as “E-Learning Solution South Staffordshire College” and is divided into one lot covering the overall requirement.

The process is at the planning stage and currently concerns preliminary market engagement, rather than an invitation to tender. The college expects to use an open procedure for the future tender, with the next notice expected by 30 September 2026. Suppliers are invited to register an interest in discussing the requirement by 4 September 2026; this is an engagement date, not a tender submission deadline. The planned contract is expected to run from 30 July 2027 to 29 July 2030, with a possible extension to 29 July 2032. One lot is planned, with renewal available. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs. No estimated contract value or budget is stated. The future procurement is intended to cover implementation of the e-learning solution in 2027.

This planning exercise will suit suppliers that can provide and implement e-learning technology for a further-education college, together with relevant training services. Strongly placed organisations are likely to include learning-platform providers, digital course and content specialists, training companies, and integrators able to configure, migrate, launch and support an e-learning environment. Experience delivering staff development or safety training would be relevant to the stated service categories. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be able to compete, either independently or alongside partners with complementary technical or training capability. Suppliers should use the engagement period to prepare evidence of comparable education or workforce-learning implementations, platform functionality, content provision, user support and delivery capacity before the future tender reaches the market.
